I genuinely enjoyed calculus conceptually. Was I good at it? No. I have heard an argument that it could be taught at a much younger age if done properly.
It actually follows much more directly from learning basic algebra than geometry does, because it's all about slope relationships. Geometry follows much more naturally from Calc 1, and then goes into Calc 2 when you do integration and rotations. That's just my opinion though.
Maybe. It depends a lot on the teacher ime. I had two really bad calculus teachers in HS (one went on mat leave halfway through) and really struggled, one AWFUL calc professor in college, and then two good ones.
If CHUDs had their way, it would be Bet (BUSINESS, (and only a little) engineering, and technology).
They'll claim to be the standing authority on Biology when you're talking about LGBT people or climate change, and then it's all "science is for nerds" when they aren't doing lysenkoism-but-redpilled, or if they are truly backed into a corner and having the more popular opinion is all they have.
Critical support for this making the STEM freaks angry, but otherwise gulag.
The M in STEM is for math, lol, STEM people would want this type of education.
If i had my way calculus would be at the beginning of highschool, not the end

That definitely makes sense
Who would teach it? People with bachelor's educations cost money.
I do want to throw assloads of money at education. Shrink the class sizes pay the teachers more, rework the curricula. All of it
Wouldn't it be nice...

That's my point. It's funny when they get huffy about anti-intellectualism when it's not being directed at the humanities.
Oh lol.
